Sample Questions

Question 1
Which type of seismic body wave is compressional (longitudinal), travels fastest through the Earth, and can propagate through both solid and liquid layers?
P waves (Primary waves)
S waves (Secondary waves)
Love waves
Rayleigh waves
Question 2
Which seismic discontinuity marks the boundary between Earth's crust and the uppermost mantle?
Gutenberg discontinuity
Mohorovičić (Moho) discontinuity
Lehmann discontinuity
Repetti discontinuity
Question 3
What key mechanical property distinguishes the lithosphere from the underlying asthenosphere?
The lithosphere is rigid and brittle, whereas the asthenosphere is ductile and capable of slow plastic flow.
The lithosphere is entirely liquid metal, whereas the asthenosphere consists of solid mantle silicates.
The lithosphere undergoes high-grade metamorphism, whereas the asthenosphere has no pressure or temperature gradients.
The lithosphere lacks tectonic plates, whereas the asthenosphere is divided into rigid moving tectonic plates.
Question 4
At mid-ocean ridges, what geological process accounts for the formation of new oceanic lithosphere?
Subduction of continental crust into the lower mantle
Decompressional melting of ascending mantle peridotite generating basaltic magma
High-pressure contact metamorphism of deep-sea sediments
Tectonic collision creating thick continental roots
Question 5
In an oceanic-continental subduction zone, why does the oceanic plate subduct beneath the continental plate?
Oceanic lithosphere is denser and thinner than continental lithosphere.
Oceanic lithosphere is less dense and thicker than continental lithosphere.
Continental lithosphere contains higher proportions of iron and magnesium silicates.
Oceanic lithosphere is preserved from subduction by high geothermal gradients.
